We continue the conversation with ex-Jehovah’s Witness Harley, @secularlad. Such a gripping story. I can’t even imagine having to go through the loss of friends and family to the extent that Harley has simply because he no longer buys into absolute nonsense.

Harley was awesome! He made my heart hurt though (an expression… not literal). I too hope his little sister stays well. JW is a very culty religion. It’s so sad for the people trapped in it. They always send the little kids to my door. I swear, next time, I’m going to answer the door and tell the little kids they’re being brainwashed by adults in a crazy cult. I probably won’t do that but I want to. I really truly believe that indoctrination of children is child abuse. They’re scaring the crap out of little kids. And even little kids are good without god. I know this because my 8 year old atheist granddaughter is the sweetest child on the planet who has already raised hundreds of dollars for cancer research (on her own) as well as a few more hundred for the SPCA. She’s the most loving human being I have ever known.
Anyway, please tell Harley to stay strong. He sounds like a really nice person.
Cheers!
